Implementation Reference

  • Registers the get_db_table_list tool with the MCP server, defining its parameters and description. The tool function delegates to the internal call_tool method.
            @mcp.tool(
                "get_db_table_list",
                description="""[Function Description]: Get a list of all table names in the specified database.
    
    [Parameter Content]:
    
    - db_name (string) [Optional] - Target database name, defaults to the current database
    
    - catalog_name (string) [Optional] - Target catalog name for federation queries, defaults to current catalog
    """,
            )
            async def get_db_table_list_tool(
                db_name: str = None, catalog_name: str = None
            ) -> str:
                """Get database table list"""
                return await self.call_tool("get_db_table_list", {
                    "db_name": db_name,
                    "catalog_name": catalog_name
                })
  • Defines the input schema for the get_db_table_list tool in list_tools method for stdio mode compatibility.
                Tool(
                    name="get_db_table_list",
                    description="""[Function Description]: Get a list of all table names in the specified database.
    
    [Parameter Content]:
    
    - db_name (string) [Optional] - Target database name, defaults to the current database
    
    - catalog_name (string) [Optional] - Target catalog name for federation queries, defaults to current catalog
    """,
                    inputSchema={
                        "type": "object",
                        "properties": {
                            "db_name": {"type": "string", "description": "Database name"},
                            "catalog_name": {"type": "string", "description": "Catalog name"},
                        },
                    },
                ),
  • Handler routing function in DorisToolsManager that extracts parameters and delegates to MetadataExtractor.get_db_table_list_for_mcp.
    async def _get_db_table_list_tool(self, arguments: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Get database table list tool routing"""
        db_name = arguments.get("db_name")
        catalog_name = arguments.get("catalog_name")
        
        # Delegate to metadata extractor for processing
        return await self.metadata_extractor.get_db_table_list_for_mcp(db_name, catalog_name)
  • MCP interface in MetadataExtractor that calls get_database_tables_async and formats the response.
    async def get_db_table_list_for_mcp(
        self, 
        db_name: str = None, 
        catalog_name: str = None
    ) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Get list of all table names in specified database - MCP interface"""
        logger.info(f"Getting database table list: DB: {db_name}, Catalog: {catalog_name}")
        
        try:
            tables = await self.get_database_tables_async(db_name=db_name, catalog_name=catalog_name)
            return self._format_response(success=True, result=tables)
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Failed to get database table list: {str(e)}", exc_info=True)
            return self._format_response(success=False, error=str(e), message="Error occurred while getting database table list")
  • Core implementation that executes 'SHOW TABLES FROM catalog.db' query via _execute_query_async and extracts table names from the result.
    async def get_database_tables_async(self, db_name: str = None, catalog_name: str = None) -> List[str]:
        """Asynchronously get table list in database"""
        try:
            effective_catalog = catalog_name or self.catalog_name
            effective_db = db_name or self.db_name
            
            if effective_catalog and effective_catalog != "internal":
                query = f"SHOW TABLES FROM `{effective_catalog}`.`{effective_db}`"
            else:
                query = f"SHOW TABLES FROM `{effective_db}`"
            
            result = await self._execute_query_async(query, effective_db)
            
            if not result:
                return []
            
            # Extract table names
            tables = []
            for row in result:
                if isinstance(row, dict):
                    # Get the value of the first field (usually Tables_in_xxx field)
                    table_name = list(row.values())[0] if row else None
                    if table_name:
                        tables.append(table_name)
            
            return tables
            
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Failed to get table list: {e}")
            return []
